Keyboard Shortcuts #11

Need to determine overall navigation and keyboard shortcuts for the main workflow

kensgists commented 9 years ago

This can get tricky, since sometimes shortcut keys can conflict with other applications' defined shortcuts and with quick key navigation in various assistive technologies. I think some high-level navigation shortcuts would make sense, especially getting to the search, top nav, and tree.

Can I recommend that you make a preference for key combinations? For example, having Ctrl+Alt be the combo out of the box but then allowing a user to set preferences for just Ctrl or Ctrl+Alt+Shift.

Also, many desktop apps allow for F6 to move between regions in the interface. This works in Word and in Acrobat, for example. To get something similar working in Adobe Connect, they implemented a combination of Alt+F6. Each press loops the user between the make chunks/pods of the interface.

Started trying to make a few shortcuts. Like @kensgists said, making combos is effective.

I committed code that attempts to use ctrl+option to collapse and ctrl+shift to expand. Collapse works but expand doesn't.

we have effectively handled all keyboard shortcuts and keyboard accessibility in other areas
